Chapter 1021: Chapter 910: Drinking is Harmful to Health
It’s been proven time and again that solicitation strategies never become outdated.
After the nuns demonstrated the miracles in front of everyone, those civilians who had been clamoring to leave the Oasis earlier that day changed their minds.
Especially when they mentioned that it was the Oasis government issuing the recruitment, not the Brotherhood, the majority were moved.
The Brotherhood had a notorious reputation, and joining them meant completely abandoning one’s conscience.
However, the government’s army was different; the local garrison had a formal organization recognized by all the Covenant Nations. In times of peace, it was a coveted secure job. If a family had a member in the military, the neighborhood hoodlums who followed the Brotherhood would no longer trouble them.
In nonwar periods, joining the local garrison was extremely stringent. Each year’s recruitment was practically monopolized by those with connections, and ordinary civilians never had a chance.
The arrival of the Rebel Army changed everything.
As long as they could survive this war, it was an opportunity to completely change their lives.
Nothingness followed behind them. By the time the two took leadership of the supplies, it was nearly afternoon, and the line behind them still stretched out of sight. Unfortunately, when they expressed their desire to join the Church, the nuns rejected them.
They were part of an organization within the Church called the Sisterhood, and clearly, Song Lan and Nothingness did not meet the "sister" criteria.
The Church was currently only recruiting nuns and also required more than one year of experience in mythological studies.
Those trying to bluff their way through were also turned away just like them.
The two witnessed a rugged man with a full beard claiming his gender identity as female, but the nuns still rejected him.
Song Lan could only sigh, relieved that this was a border city of the Oasis. If it were in the core cities of the United Government, these nuns would have been in trouble.
"Didn’t you say the Church needs a lot of believers? Why are they turning most people away?"
Nothingness examined the local garrison’s recruitment announcement. Compared to the Church’s recruitment standards, the military’s were much more lax.
To summarize, no restrictions on gender, just be alive.
As long as you met those criteria, even if you were missing arms or legs, you could become part of the regular Oasis forces.
"Some organizations are strict with entry but lenient with exit, while others are easy to get into but hard to leave."
The experience of the chief of the District 17 Anti-Fraud Advocacy Division once again proved useful. These recruitment standards were all too familiar—pyramid schemes often recruited people this way. "Generally, recruiting believers is a lengthy process, but with the Rebel Army at the gates, the Oasis Peace Company no longer has the luxury of time."
Once believers joined the Church and found that miracles were beyond their reach, they began to think of quitting.
Such behavior in the military would turn them into deserters.
If caught, they would be tried by a military court. Even if they managed to flee the Oasis, they would be blacklisted and could never return to their homeland.
"They could use the military system to forcefully require new recruits to pray."
Nothingness was skeptical of this.
Not until they had completed the signup process according to the notice and, carrying their luggage, entered the military camp temporarily established by the company in Lute City did the daily schedule clarify everything.
There was to be a prayer session shortly.
In the words of the instructor, it was preparation to help them survive the upcoming war.
The situation in the Oasis was dire, with the Rebel Army having seized all the major cities. To win the war, aside from standing united, they had to pray for a miracle from the God of Life.
The prepared storytelling session by the Church promptly took center stage.
It was said that those blessed by the God of Life were like war gods on the battlefield, healing any wounds in a short time, tirelessly charging at the enemy, and even the vicious Rebel Army couldn’t stop their advance.
The indoctrination of the instructor by the Church was highly successful—he genuinely believed in the existence of the God of Life, thinking that this deity would help them win an apparently impossible battle.
However, the new recruits frowning during the presentation weren’t interested in the tales of valor at the frontline. What they really wanted to know was when the potion used by the nuns would be officially distributed to them.
Because the nuns had promised them, this potion represented the power of the God of Life.
It could heal all ailments, regenerate limbs, and even rejuvenate those with terminal illnesses.
Everyone needed a bottle of this potion.
Seeing the recruits’ morale dissipating, the instructor couldn’t help but reveal his true colors.
He raised his voice to quell the murmurs, his ferocious expression resembling that of a Brotherhood thug, stirring the deepest fears in the civilians.
He summoned all the new recruits to the square.
Now filled with zeal, the instructor had become a believer in the God of Life, and importantly, the Church had given him a clear target—gather the recruits and complete the prayer. This was a symbol of his staunch faith, helping lost lambs find their faith while crediting their achievements to him.
"First, you must kneel on the ground with a sincere heart."
The instructor had the recruits form a circle, which naturally stirred resistance among the people.
The rough and gravel-strewn ground of the square outside the camp was not a place where anyone wanted to kneel, and since they knew nothing of the God of Life, how could they pray sincerely?
